Arts and Humanities
Traditionally known as places to learn how to swim or make a jump shot, YMCAs are rapidly becoming places where kids and adults learn to paint, write, sing or act. Whether it’s a dance class, a craft workshop or a regular book group, the Y seeks to engage people in appreciating the arts. Take a look at some of our most popular arts and humanities programs below, but keep in mind that offerings vary by branch.
